Starlin Castro vs. Blaine Boyer — Matchup Analysis
Blaine Boyer has kept Castro in check relative to their career standard. With only 6 plate appearances this is early evidence, but it leans Boyer. 0.333 is a solid batting line, but the OPS of 0.667 sits 9% below where Castro typically operates, reflecting a pitcher making a great hitter work harder than usual. Even with Castro striking out less often than usual, once every 6 PA versus a career rate of once every 5.9 PA, the overall production numbers still favor Boyer. Slight edge: Boyer.
